Summary:
Forestville Union Elementary School District contains one middle school, Forestville Academy, which serves an unusual grade span of 2nd through 8th for its 152 students.
While the school has shown notable improvement in its statewide ranking over the past few years, moving from the 19th to the 35th percentile, key academic metrics remain below state averages. Proficiency in English Language Arts and Science is slightly below the state, but mathematics performance is a significant concern, especially in grades 6-8 where proficiency rates fall dramatically. A major factor likely impacting learning is the chronic absenteeism rate of 30%, which is substantially higher than the California average.
Despite having favorable conditions like a low student-teacher ratio and high per-student spending, academic outcomes suggest these resources face challenges. The school's performance closely mirrors that of the broader Forestville Union Elementary district, indicating shared systemic priorities such as improving middle school math instruction and addressing student attendance to build on the recent ranking gains.
